France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron observed a similar isolation in her U.S. counterpart, Melania Trump, as she told La Monde before leaving the states on Wednesday. Trump is “much more constrained than me,” she said. “Melania can’t do anything, she can’t even open a window in the White House. She can’t put her nose out. Me, every day, I’m out in Paris." Macron called the First Lady “nice and charming, intelligent and very open,” and said of Trump’s sometimes stern, often silent outward face, “Everything is interpreted, over-interpreted. She said that she didn’t want to appear like “flower pot,” or some kind ornament to her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, but that it was inevitable at times in D.C. “Everything was very framed, there were small labels on the ground, I put myself where I had to put myself.” she told the publication.

When French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron visited the White House in Washington this past week, they attended their first official state dinner with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, and the Internet was quick to notice Melania’s general lack of enthusiasm for the event. In a video that quickly went viral, the First Lady is seen visibly grimacing and even swatting away her husband’s hand as he attempts to get closer to her. (Of course, viewing Melania as an unhappy, if not caged, First Lady is nothing new—though she held the line on her husband’s rac

Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, said though she is "really fun" her US counterpart First Lady Melania Trump "can’t go outside. She’s much more constrained than I am". The pair first met met last summer in Paris and met again this week during the official state visit in Washington DC. Ms Macron told French newspaper Le Monde the two "have the same sense of humour. We laugh a lot together". But, she said, Ms Trump's life of constant security and scrutiny meant she "cannot do anythingShe can’t even open a window at the White HouseI go out every day in Paris". Ms Trump is often seen as a quiet, perhaps even stern or cold partner to the bombastic Donald Trump, but Ms Macron said the First Lady is quite “kind, charming, intelligent

The First Ladies, Brigitte Macron and Melania Trump, stepped out in differing pieces that incorporated the color of unity Earlier today, both First Ladies attended a performance at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Waterloo, Belgium, ahead of this evening’s NATO summit dinner. For the day’s activities, both women stuck with heavily relied-upon fashion labels in two disparate (but still classic) silhouettes. For Macron, this meant an optic-white Louis Vuitton skirt suit, paired with futuristic metallic silver stilettos for a directional touch.

Let no one say that Melania Trump, the first lady of the United States, has not done her part to further French-American relations. On her first two foreign tours, Mrs. Trump seemed not to entirely embrace the practice known as sartorial diplomacy, in which dignitaries use clothing as a strategic platform. She dipped in and o

Brigitte Macron had nice words to say about first lady Melania Trump who she called “really fun” but said she “cannot do anything.” France’s first lady Brigitte Macron reveled in her time spent with Melania Trump this week but feels America’s first lady is constrained while living in the White House. Macron, 65, told Le Monde that she had a wonderful time with the first lady and called her “really fun.” “We have the same sense of humor. We laugh a lot together,” Macron said. However, she voiced her concerns over Trump’s restrictions while living in the White House. “She can’t even open a window at the White House. She can’t go outside. She’s much more constrained than I am. I go out every day in Paris,” France’s first lady

It appears that Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron aren’t the only two world leaders enamored with each other. In a brutal interview with The Guardian, French First Lady Brigitte Macron says Melania Trump is “actually really fun” — but only when she’s inside the White House, which is the only place she’s apparently allowed to be. This comment comes on the heels of Macron and his high-school teacher turned wife’s first official state visit to the U.S., during which Trump and the French president were PDA’ing hard, even though Macron was struggling with an embarrassing dandruff problem. While the

France's first lady Brigitte Macron said Melania Trump is charming but is very constrained and can't even seem to go outside due to her role in Washington.
